They seem to have grouped their NPN's with their rewards program scrapage!?

Odd

My almost updated trade+ site. Looking for Vintage all sports, and nice pieces from teams below PM/email with any offers. Thank You. Also 1990 Topps, and 2003 old logo.Call someone a dodee buttt in the heat of a debate, banhammer, trying with all your might to pass fakes, or what amounts to fraud..Eh, give em a break, he made a mistake??!!??

So all you have to do is write the information on the index card on the NPN Site, and they send you some cards? If so how long does it take?

You have to hand write your name, address, email address & Phone number on a index card and send it in the mail (a $.44 cent stamp will work...has to be in a #12 business size envelope). Some turn arounds have been between 2-4 months, others 4-6 months. If you read the thread you will see that we have still been getting NPN's from 2008 Products. I'm eagerly awaiting the 2009 Returns.

I am new to the npns and have a quick question. I see the npn site has addresses for the hobby, retail, blasters. Are all of these considered different product to where I can send to each address or should I just be sending to one address?Thanks

They are all different products. For Topps NPN's you can send one for Blaster, Hobby, Retail, Cereal, etc. They are all sent to different addresses. If you send them all to the same address you will most likely be disqualified. Just send 1 index card per address unless it states otherwise.

Ben, are you sure about that? I used to think it was that way (each PO Box was its own product response), but with the recent lack of NPN reponses, I am starting to doubt that. Recently checking a wrapper, Topps printed that the NPN was limited to one per 2009 Topps Product Name. Not the PO Box. It stuck out to me for some reason, whether it was a wording change or something else. Has TOPPS verified this?

From the NPNsportscards.com website:

Can I send in entries for both the retail and hobby versions of the product? No. NPNs specify that the limits are for the product overall, not on which version of the product you're mailing in an NPN for.

One more question: My son is now at college. He has his own box # there. NPN's state that they will not send to PO Boxes. Will companies send NPN's to a college box?

That is Odd. I thought I had read on NPNSportscards.com 6 months ago that you could send one to each address. Also on the P.O. Box I have been putting the my address as Street/P.O. Box and it has been working fine. We'll see if I get any 2009 products from Topps and I'll let you know about the other one. Cause I sent one to each address and so far it has worked with Topps Products.

Thankfully, no. It is best doing it from the wrapper, but if you need the addresses just go to www.npnsportscards.com and they usually have all the information you need. I have been using that site for quite a while now and would highly recommend it to someone who doesn't have all the money to buy packs of each product.

And if you have an address on your wrapper that isn't expired and that is not on the site, you can always help them out by sending them an email.
